Get Started with Claude Code

This guide will walk you through the setup process for getting started with Claude Code.

Check your environment

  1. Open a command-line prompt, Windows Terminal if you have it installed, or else Command Prompt or Windows Powershell from the Start menu.

  2. Setup uno.check by installing or updating the tool with:

    dotnet tool update -g uno.check

  3. Run the tool from the command prompt with the following command:

    uno-check

    You can optionally add the --target desktop --target web (or ios, android, windows) parameters based on your intended development platforms.

  4. Follow the instructions indicated by the tool.

You can find additional information about uno-check here.

Setting up Uno Platform MCPs

  1. Install Claude Code from the CLI

  2. Register the Uno Platform MCPs:

    claude mcp add --scope user --transport http uno https://mcp.platform.uno/v1
claude mcp add --scope user --transport stdio "uno-app" -- dotnet dnx -y uno.devserver --mcp-app

  3. Start Claude Code in your terminal and then run:

    /mcp

    This will show the Uno Platform MCPs available to the agent.

    Important

    The uno-app MCP may fail to load unless Claude is opened in a folder containing an Uno Platform app.

Setting up the Uno Platform Skills

Uno Platform ships a catalog of agent skills — covering areas such as MVUX, navigation, Uno Toolkit controls, theming, and UI testing — bundled in the uno-platform-studio plugin. Once installed, Claude Code automatically selects the relevant skills as it works on your prompts.

  1. In Claude Code, install the plugin:

    /plugin marketplace add unoplatform/studio
/plugin install uno-platform-studio@uno-platform

  2. If Claude Code prompts you to run /reload-plugins, do so to apply the new plugin.

For the full skill catalog, update instructions, and other installation options, see Skills & Plugins.
